Having grown up in another one of the medias's popular "civil war playgrounds", I empathize with the Irseals/Poalestinians /Jordanians. Much like the British, the USA seem to be held resposnsible for sorting these internal conflicts. While many may belive that Uncle Bill Clinton and his Ambassadoor sorted out the "Irish situation" with flawed/weak "Agreemebnt", in reality, this issue remains unresolved and if anything, the deep Unionist/Republican distrust is even stronger.

With Israel/Palestine issue, The US can apply pressure, but in reality it will have to resolved within the Middle East powers. Trumps' plan has one GREAT failing, namely that it is reoffered to with his name attached. Trump did not conceive or write the paln, his advisors/mentors did. It seems to have much merit ( nothing will ever satisfy extremists like Hamas radicals), and indeed some of the more influential Middle East leaders are showing signs that it might be time for them to step up and help.

Two things always come for conflicts like Ulster/Republic of Ireland and Israel/Palestine civil conflicts occur. First INNOCENTS DO DIE! Second, the world media (usually on the side of the " oppressed Irish or Palestinian") will be there FUELLING the FIRE.

A controversial comedian in UK whose father was shot makes a glib, but pertinent one liner on this.... " Oh god, Kate Aidie has arrived in Belfast",... ie, now the BBC's top war correspondent was in town, hide in your homes, because that means there will be trouble in the streets. Is no coincidence that terrorists have threatened and even killed journalists.... its because they cause trouble if it will make a good front-page story!

The author of this opinion is correct, why not let those whose lifes are dependent on it sort it out. Biden's administrations repulsion of all things Trump ( even his warp-drive vaccine succeess). The last thing the Israel/Palestine issue needs is Biden et all doing their anti Trump tantrum, fuelled by BBC/CNN/ABC journos looking for professional glory awards!

Singers obsession with defending the wealthy landlord. Obscene.

Trump's "peace" plan was always and only a crock!

I believe the occupiers and the occupied alone need to resolve this. And until they do the international embargo on Israeli goods and service exports needs to remain and ramp up and up!

It is said, you can force a horse to water but you can't make him drink. But if he is thirsty enough, neither a hail of shell or shot will stop him stampeding toward it! Water and its inexhaustible supply that is the real key to real peace!

Not regurgitated garbage, David.

Ah the whine of "pseudo intellectual elites", louder then the old jokes about why the whines still occurred after the engines shutoff from the 747 QF-1 flight from london,.. cos the Poms where on board... ha ha, tee, heee...".

You guys have NEVER BEEN in a war zone, where bombs and bullets kill people, and I doubt you ever will.

have never suffered the impact of their ideology.. Well done you three, you are naive hypocrite, sleep well in you bubbles of security and peace, all so common here when you live in Australian, which Is why I came here and became a law abiding, contributing and hopefully valuable citizen.

ps... its about time you joined the real violent and sad world of humanity and politics... Maybe then you would realise that your latte coffees, chardonnay/pinot-grigio/prosceto, avocado-toast view of the world is so rose tinted.

Sleep well the sleep of innocents,.. when you have been where those of us who have been, saw what we have seen, actually survived and then moved on and seen the glass half full side of life.... then you can play your silly verbal jibes fights with more than a blank deck of cards. You are such poor bluffers!
